A retard like you will never be rich, even if you manage to luck out on money you will never hold it because you're too retarded. Enjoy your inferior life under Trudeau you dumb cuck.
Lmaoo look at this coping ignoramus. Ill always he more successful than you, because im a winner and youre a loser.

Your loser mentality is the reason why europe is cucked and ineffective. Overburdened with idiotic regulations all to feed the lowest common denominator (you) who only wants to work “as much as you feel like”.

Cuck

Ah no.

This new fad of everyone wanting to start their own business is nonsense.

You don’t need to be a CEO to live an upper middle class life.

And Americas upper middle
Class is the equivalent to most countries rich.

Honestly can't tell the last time I've witnessed something as delusional as his posts. They're some weird fantasy where apparently Europe/EU is just a mass of identical countries where entrepreneurship is frowned upon and people just get by via welfare and government handouts and whatever. Flat out retardation because he once read something about EU and bureucracy.

You guys don’t live in the EU. The entire system is set up in a way that’s a modern version of medieval Europe… the rich stay rich, the working class lives paycheck to paycheck for life.

You know those stories of Americans that are poor but worked hard and started a business to become wealthy? Ya that’s 1 in a billion in Europe.
What does that even mean? What system? And let's not pretend that "rich stay rich and many people live paycheck to paycheck" is not the situation in NA. Or are we pretending that generational wealth is unique to Europe?

it seems to be that the idea of ambition is in someway frowned upon in europe, whereas here in canada and to a larger extent in america, it seems to be the opposite. there are countless stories to the point that its comical of first gen immigrants here whos kids go on to be successful doctors, lawyers, engineers, etc.

those stories are few and far between in europe. i cant exactly pin point why that is, but again it seems to be that the entire system is set up to keep the status quo... if youre wealthy, your kids will be wealthy; if youre middle class, your kids will be middle class.
Of course you can't pinpoint why that is, because you only made it up in your head. And again "the entire system" and gasping at the marvel of generational wealth.

Europe is not capitalist, except for the 1%, noted.

There it is, Europe is faux-communist and ineffective. We still have no idea what you're referring to, but we got used to it at this point.

It's quite obvious that your only experience with Europe was wanking it to EE pornstars.

Jfc you can't even differentiate between Europe and the EU, not to mention forming a coherent thought.

Funny part is western euros are richer in the end even if people have more economic opportunity in the US. (which is also debatable)



Not a commie though but some americans really believe capitalims is god's greatest gift
So you talk about how capitalism is bad and then post a chart with 3 socialist countries at the very bottom of the chart.

When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

By your logic why is the US not the first of those countries? Clearly the best option appears to be a healthy medium.
